Here's some photos of the all-important moral
support people on the project, who keep me going in times of
dispair about lost parts, impossible technical problems etc. PM71 Friends&Family - a very
cosmopolitan and eclectic club these days!
These shots are from the day in 2008 spent moving the car & engine, to allow us to
sell the house & generate some more cash (not all for the
project!)
Well things have moved on a lot since the project
started - witness how my sons, Mitchell, Nathan and Jordan (left
to right in 1st photo) have grown up since the earlier photos
further below were taken...
Above left, Jord is the tall dude standing on the
trailer with me... he was also the little one wedged in the
front of the driver's window below! Nate and Mitch are
left and middle below.... they're also the big guys left and
right above with the engine :-)
I carried this picture in
my wallet for many years, it dates back to the early 90's, when
the twins (Nate & Mitch) were around 4 and Jordan was
between 1 and 2
Left to right, Jordan, Mitchell and Nathan again - standing behind
the Esprit just about the time PM71 got underway in 2001, mulling
over the installtion of the V8 in the engine compartment
More evidence of how much my twins have grown up since I bought
the Esprit... Above: Lotus 72 kiddies rides, now you don't see
that every day! This was on holiday down in Torquay around 1994
when the twins were 4 - Nate on the right and Mitch on
the left
OK, Im trying my best not to be out done here :)
JPS lotus didn't exist when I had my first car, on the left - it looks more like a Type 2! I did have a JPS photo opportunity in the late 80s during a tour of Ketteringham Hall
